He preferred physical insight to %%% mathematical rigor, and his scientific papers %%% contain few equations. He liked the idea of %%% April Fool's Day, and papers in at least %%% entries Gamow:1938:LER, Gamow:1938:NES, %%% Gamow:1939:ERG, Gamow:1939:OGN, %%% Gamow:1941:NTS, Gamow:1941:RID, %%% Gamow:1945:SSM, Alpher:1948:OCE, and %%% Gamow:1993:ODT are for journal issues dated %%% April, or 1 April. Entry Chernin:1994:GAN %%% claims there are 11 such papers, but so far, %%% this bibliography includes only the listed 9 %%% of them. However, there are other entries %%% for which no month data are available, so the %%% 2 missing April Fool's Day papers may well be %%% present here. %%% %%% According to entry Chernin:1995:GGB, three of %%% Gamow's greatest contributions to science are %%% %%% (1) discovering the quantum nature of %%% alpha decay in nuclear physics %%% [including his 1928 liquid-drop model %%% of nuclear fission, too often %%% miscredited to the 1939 work of Bohr %%% and Wheeler]; %%% %%% (2) the theory of the hot initial state %%% of the Universe and the existence of %%% cosmic microwave background %%% radiation; and %%% %%% (3) finding the clue to the genetic code %%% in biology (see entry %%% Hayes:1998:CSI). %%% %%% Six other important contributions of the %%% work of Gamow and his students and co-authors %%% (see entry Chernin:1994:GAN) are: %%% %%% (4) the observed abundances of hydrogen %%% and helium in the Universe can be %%% accounted for by nuclear reactions in %%% the early minutes of the Big Bang; %%% %%% (5) heavier elements are synthesized much %%% later in stellar cores and supernovae %%% explosions; %%% %%% (6) the cosmic background radiation left %%% over from the Big Bang should be %%% close to absolute zero Kelvin: it %%% should be between 1 K and 10 K; %%% %%% (7) the Gamow--Teller resonance in nuclear %%% physics; %%% %%% (8) the URCA process in nuclear physics; %%% %%% (9) evolutionary paths of stars in the %%% spectrum--luminosity diagram. %%% %%% A 129-km-diameter crater on the back side of %%% the Moon is named after George Gamow: %%% %%% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamow_%28crater%29 %%% %%% George Gamow wrote more than 200 scientific %%% papers and popular articles, and two dozen %%% books. His co-authors include five winners %%% of the Nobel Prize in Physics: Hans Bethe %%% (1967), Felix Bloch (1952), James Chadwick %%% (1935), Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1983), %%% and Lev Landau (1962); two winners of the %%% Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Ernest Rutherford %%% (1908) and Francis William Aston (1922); and %%% one winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine: %%% Max Delbrueck (1969). Gamow himself was %%% nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in %%% Physics for his work in nuclear physics, but %%% never received it (see page 271 of entry %%% Kragh:2017:NPS). %%% %%% Gamow brought Edward Teller to the USA, and %%% Gamow's influence moved Teller's work from %%% molecular physics to nuclear physics and %%% weapons development. They wrote 10 papers %%% together and the adjective Gamow--Teller is %%% attached to several concepts in physics. %%% Edward Teller and Stan Ulam, considered the %%% chief architects of the US hydrogen bomb, %%% both credited Gamow with initiating their %%% theoretical work. %%% %%% George Gamow began his undergraduate %%% university studies at Novorussiya University %%% in Odessa, just after the Russian Revolution. %%% He later moved to Petrograd State University %%% in Petrograd, USSR (renamed Leningrad after %%% Lenin's death in 1924, and renamed to its %%% original name, St. Petersburg, in 1991). %%% At the time, doctorates were not being %%% awarded in the USSR, so it may be that %%% Gamow never received an advanced degree. %%% This is confirmed by Gamow himself in the %%% interview of entry Weiner:1968:IGG. %%% Nevertheless, he is referred to as Dr. Gamow %%% in several of the publications listed in this %%% bibliography. %%% %%% Gamow later spent time with Max Born in %%% Goettingen, Germany; with Niels Bohr in %%% Copenhagen, Denmark; with Ernest Rutherford %%% in Cambridge, England; with Paul Ehrenfest in %%% Leiden, The Netherlands; and with Marie Curie %%% in Paris, France. %%% %%% Gamow met Lyubova `Rho' Vokhminzeva, also a %%% physicist, at the Moscow passport office in %%% 1931, where he was waiting for a passport. %%% They married in November 1931. After three %%% aborted escape attempts, he and Rho traveled, %%% with government authorization, from Russia to %%% the Solvay Conference in Brussels, Belgium in %%% October 1933, and never returned to Russia. %%% As a result, Gamow's work was ignored or %%% suppressed during Soviet times, and it was %%% not until decades later, after the breakup of %%% the USSR, that his work reappeared in the %%% Russian scientific literature. %%% %%% In the summer of 1934, George and Rho arrived %%% in the US, where George took up a position at %%% The George Washington University in %%% Washington, DC, where he remained for many %%% years. He recruited his friend, Edward %%% Teller, to GWU, and Gamow became a US citizen %%% in 1940. %%% %%% Gamow worked on stellar theory from 1938 to %%% 1945, relativistic cosmogony from 1945 to %%% 1952, and protein coding from 1953 to 1955. %%% In 1956, he and Rho were divorced, and George %%% moved to the University of Colorado in %%% Boulder, a position that he held until his %%% death in 1968. %%% %%% One of Gamow's early teaching jobs came with %%% the rank and uniform of a colonel in the %%% USSR's Red Army. That fact, and his general %%% jocularity and over-consumption of alcohol, %%% probably made him untrustworthy in the view %%% of the US Government. Consequently, unlike %%% most of the famous atomic and nuclear %%% physicist on both sides of World War II, %%% Gamow did not work on the war-time %%% development of nuclear weapons. Instead, he %%% met with Albert Einstein every two weeks, and %%% together, they worked as consultants to the %%% US Navy's Division of High Explosives %%% (conventional, not nuclear), as well as %%% discussing questions of theoretical physics. %%% %%% In 1948, however, Gamow was invited to %%% consult on the hydrogen bomb project at Los %%% Alamos, perhaps because of his long-term %%% friendship with project leader Edward Teller, %%% and Gamow was a regular visitor to Los Alamos %%% for many years. That part of his work %%% remains classified, and unknown to the %%% public. Gamow joked that his main %%% contribution to the hydrogen-bomb work was %%% bringing Edward Teller to the USA. %%% %%% Gamow was one of the first to apply quantum %%% mechanics to the atomic nucleus, with his %%% first paper (entry Gamow:1928:QAG) on that %%% subject written when he was only 24 years %%% old. %%% %%% One of Gamow's main research areas was the %%% origin of the chemical elements, and the %%% structure and evolution of stars. Starting %%% in 1935, he organized several conferences in %%% theoretical physics at The George Washington %%% University. Discussions at the March 1938 %%% conference resulted in the paper in entry %%% Chandrasekhar:1938:PSE, and led Hans Bethe to %%% return to Cornell University, where in a %%% month of intense research, Bethe worked out %%% the details of all of the nuclear reactions %%% that power stars (see entries Bethe:1939:EPSa, %%% Hoyle:1946:SEH, and Hoyle:1954:NRO). Bethe %%% received the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physics %%% ``for his contributions to the theory of %%% nuclear reactions, especially his discoveries %%% concerning the energy production in stars'': %%% %%% http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1967/ %%% %%% The famous `alpha--beta--gamma' paper (entry %%% Alpher:1948:OCE) addresses the origin of the %%% chemical elements. While its details were %%% later shown to be wrong, it is an important %%% historical source for the Big Bang theory of %%% the evolution of the Universe. For a %%% retrospective, see entries Turner:2008:PCA, %%% Amett:2009:HHN, and Kragh:2014:NBB. The %%% correct details of element formation were %%% first worked out in the long paper in entry %%% Burbidge:1957:SES, known as the B2FH paper, %%% after the authors' initials: %%% %%% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B2FH_paper %%% %%% For a discussion of the importance of that %%% paper, see entries Weinberg:1972:GCP, %%% Weinberg:1977:FTM and Weinberg:1993:FTM. %%% %%% See entry Frebel:2014:RCE for a recent %%% nontechnical review of the state of %%% understanding of the physics of the formation %%% and evolution of the Universe, and the %%% production of the chemical elements. The %%% references in that review all have entries in %%% this bibliography. %%% %%% In papers from 1928 to 1936, Gamow proposed a %%% liquid-drop model of nuclear structure, and %%% already in 1928, discussed nuclear %%% disintegration (later named `nuclear fission' %%% by Otto Robert Frisch). Werner Heisenberg %%% (1934), C. F. von Weizs{\"a}cker (1935), and %%% Hans Bethe and R. F. Bacher (1936) further %%% developed the liquid-drop model, although the %%% last two did not cite Gamow. Niels Bohr also %%% developed a variant of that idea in 1936 %%% (again without citing Gamow, even though %%% Gamow had discussed the model first with %%% Bohr, and then with Rutherford, before %%% publishing the paper of entry %%% Gamow:1929:DSA). The origins of the %%% liquid-drop model of nuclear fission are %%% superbly chronicled in entry %%% Stuewer:1994:OLD. In December 1938, Lise %%% Meitner and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch %%% built on those ideas to propose a theoretical %%% understanding of nuclear fission that had %%% been discovered just a few weeks earlier by %%% Meitner's close friends and colleagues, Otto %%% Hahn and Fritz Strassmann. That theory was %%% further developed by Niels Bohr and John %%% Archibald Wheeler, who published their work %%% in September 1939, just as World War II %%% began. The Manhattan Project was formally %%% begun in October 1942, and led to the %%% development and successful test of the first %%% atomic bomb at the Trinity Site near %%% Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. %%% See entries Stuewer:1994:OLD, %%% Stuewer:1997:GAD, and Stuewer:2018:AIN for %%% the historical detective work that solidly %%% documents Gamow's critical role in %%% understanding nuclear fission, and gives %%% Gamow, rather than Bohr, Wheeler, and others, %%% credit for the original liquid-drop model. %%% %%% In 1946, Gamow predicted the constant Cosmic %%% Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) and %%% that work was first published in the paper of %%% entry Alpher:1948:TRE. However, the idea did %%% not catch on with experimental physicists, %%% and the CMBR was later discovered %%% experimentally by Arno Penzias and Robert %%% Wilson at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey in %%% 1964 when they attempted to identify the %%% source of constant background noise in their %%% radio-telescope antenna. At the time, they %%% were unaware of Gamow's earlier work that %%% predicted that phenomenon. The Penzias and %%% Wilson work was published in 1965 together %%% with a paper on the theoretical reason for %%% that noise, written by Princeton University %%% physicists Robert H. Dicke, P. J. E. Peebles, %%% P. G. Roll, and D. T. Wilkinson in the July %%% 1965 issue of The Astrophysical Journal. %%% Penzias and Wilson shared the 1978 Nobel %%% Prize in Physics %%% %%% http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1978/ %%% %%% with Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa. The Penzias %%% and Wilson half was ``for their discovery of %%% cosmic microwave background radiation'', the %%% first compelling evidence for the correctness %%% of the Big Bang theory, and the disproof of %%% the competing steady-state theory promoted by %%% Fred Hoyle and co-workers (see entries %%% Alpher:1990:EWB and Hoyle:1990:AEA). Gamow's %%% original prediction was a background %%% radiation of about 7 K (1953) or 6 K (1956) %%% (see entries Chernin:1994:HGC and %%% Chernin:1995:GGB), and his co-workers Alpher %%% and Herman found 5 K (entries %%% Alpher:1948:NCT, Alpher:1948:RAE, and %%% Alpher:1990:EWB) by using a much more %%% complicated theory and calculation. The %%% Penzias and Wilson experiments showed it to %%% be about 3 K. See entries Penzias:1979:OE %%% and Wilson:1979:CMB for their Nobel Lectures. %%% Those results were refined in experiments %%% with the COBE (COsmic Background Explorer) %%% satellite in the early 1990s to 2.730 +/- %%% 0.060 K, and then to 2.726 +/- 0.001 K (entry %%% Mather:1993:C), for which George Smoot and %%% John Mather received the Nobel Prize in %%% Physics in 2006. Cosmic background radiation %%% is an important aspect of modern cosmology %%% that receives chapter-length treatment in %%% several books (see, for example, entries %%% Peebles:1971:PC, Weinberg:1972:GCP, %%% Weinberg:1977:FTM, Peebles:1993:PPC, %%% Weinberg:1993:FTM, Jones:2004:IGC, %%% Carroll:2007:IMA, and Weinberg:2008:C). %%% %%% There is confusion in the physics literature, %%% and even in Nobel Prize lectures, about just %%% who contributed what, and when, to %%% predictions of the existence, and magnitude, %%% of the CMBR. The recent paper by Alpher's %%% son, Alpher:2012:RAR, may help to clarify %%% that important history of our understanding %%% of the origin of the Universe. %%% %%% See entry Gamow:1970:MWL for an %%% autobiography, entries Chernin:1994:GAN, %%% Chernin:1994:HGC, Chernin:1995:GGB, %%% Harper:2001:GGS, Hufbauer:2009:GG, and %%% Segre:2011:OGM for biographies, entry %%% Gingerich:1994:SWA for anecdotes, and entry %%% Weiner:1968:IGG for a long interview.

It is found that in the case of ordinary thermonuclear reactions, with the absence of selective temperature effects (nuclear resonance) the central temperature and luminosity of the star (with constant mass) will rapidly increase in the process of evolution. If, however, such selective effects are present, the energy-production at the center of the star will cease, beginning with the stage when the central temperature reaches the selective value, and energy will be produced only in a spherical shell around the center. This shell will have exactly the selective temperature value corresponding to the thermonuclear reaction in question, and its radius will slowly increase in the process of evolution causing a very slow increase of luminosity. Finally, in the third stage of evolution, when all hydrogen necessary for thermonuclear reactions has been consumed, the star will start a rapid contraction and, passing through the high density stage, will end its life as a cool body.

These neutrinos penetrating almost without difficulty the body of the star, must carry away very large amounts of energy and prevent the central temperature from rising above a certain limit. This must cause a rapid contraction of the stellar body ultimately resulting in a catastrophic collapse. It is shown that energy losses through the neutrinos produced in reactions between free electrons and oxygen nuclei can cause a complete collapse of the star within the time period of half an hour. Although the main energy losses in such collapses are due to neutrino emission which escapes direct observation. the heating of the body of a collapsing star must necessarily lead to the rapid expansion of the outer layers and the tremendous increase of luminosity.

It is shown that at a certain stage of contraction the star must reach the maximum of its luminosity, and it is calculated that for the star masses of 5, 10, 20, and 40 suns the maximum luminosities are 1$ \times $ 10$^5$, 4$ \times $ 10$^5$, 1$ \times $ 10$^6$, and 4$ \times $ 10$^6$ suns, respectively. In the later contractive stages total luminosity of the star remains constant whereas its visual luminosity rapidly deceases because of the shift of energy into the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. It is to be expected that for such high values of the (luminosity)/(mass) ratio, radiation pressure becomes strong enough to eject stellar atmospheres into the surrounding space, and it is shown that the ejection will actually take place if the force of gravity on the stellar surface will be somewhat reduced by the centrifugal force due to axial rotation. It is also shown that under the conditions existing in the ejective atmospheres of Wolf--Rayet stars, radiation pressure is primarily due to the light scattering by free electrons. In discussing the motion of the ejected gases, it may be necessary to assume that their original velocity of about 2000 km/sec. can be considerably reduced by the gravitational action of the star. If this is the case, gaseous envelopes which will form around Wolf--Rayet stars in the course of several centuries will possess properties very similar to those of the planetary nebulae. This would indicate a close evolutionary relationship between these two classes of celestial objects. An alternative evolutionary road of a massive star consists in the formation of an energy-producing shell, which will take place in all cases where the convective currents due to axial rotation are not fast enough to secure homogeneity of stellar matter. It is indicated that the growth of such shells will probably lead to the formation of an extensive atmosphere which offers certain possibilities for the interpretation of the so-called red giant stars as intermediate evolutionary stages between the stars of the main sequence and the Wolf--Rayet stars. In conclusion the problem of stellar collapse, which is expected to take place towards the end of contractive evolution, is discussed in some detail.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, author-dates = "George Gamow (1904--1968)", fjournal = "Physical Review", journal-URL = "http://prola.aps.org/browse/PR", } @Book{Gamow:1944:MTE, author = "George Gamow", title = "{Mr. Tompkins} Explores the Atom", publisher = pub-MACMILLAN, address = pub-MACMILLAN:adr, pages = "x + 97", year = "1944", LCCN = "QC173 .G32", bibdate = "Tue May 29 09:13:19 MDT 2012", bibsource = "http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/g/gamow-george.bib; z3950.loc.gov:7090/Voyager", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, author-dates = "George Gamow (1904--1968)", subject = "Atoms", } @Book{Gamow:1945:BDS, author = "George Gamow", title = "The Birth and Death of the Sun: Stellar Evolution and Subatomic Energy", publisher = pub-PENGUIN-PRESS, address = pub-PENGUIN-PRESS:adr, pages = "xv + 2 + 219", year = "1945", LCCN = "QB44 .G26 1945", bibdate = "Mon May 28 15:19:57 MDT 2012", bibsource = "http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/g/gamow-george.bib; z3950.loc.gov:7090/Voyager", series = "Pelican books", URL = "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1945QB44.G26.......", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, author-dates = "George Gamow (1904--1968)", remark = "First Pelican books edition December, 1945.", subject = "Sun; Evolution; Stars; Atoms", } @Article{Gamow:1945:NTC, author = "G.

It is the fundamental paper that describes the first experimental evidence of nuclear fission, and was accompanied by a second paper \cite{Hahn:1939:NEA} received on the same day, but published a month (five issues) later. Hahn's long-time collaborator, Lise Meitner (who had escaped Nazi Germany in July 1938, first to The Netherlands, then to Sweden) and her nephew, Otto Frisch, made a critical analysis of the experimental results on 24 December 1938. Word from Frisch soon reached Niels Bohr in Copenhagen, who then carried the news in a visit to the eastern United States in early January 1939, and announced the Meitner--Frisch explanation on 26 January at a conference in theoretical physics at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. By the end of that month, American physicists were widely aware of the discovery, and Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California, Berkeley, had already roughly sketched how to build a fission bomb. Prior to this work, all previous experiments found that neutron bombardment increased the atomic weight by just one or two, leaving the charge, and the chemical nature, of the atom unchanged. The new experiments described in this paper found products that chemically resembled lighter atoms, but were conservatively called variants of the heavier radium, actinium, and thorium (elements 88, 89, and 90). The third last paragraph of the article is particularly significant: the authors wrote ``As chemists we really ought to revise the decay scheme given above and insert the symbols Ba, La, Ce [barium, lanthanum, and cerium: elements 56, 57, and 58] in place of Ra, Ac, Th. However as ``nuclear chemists,'' working very close to the field of physics, we cannot bring ourselves yet to take such a drastic step which goes against all previous experience in nuclear physics. There could perhaps be a series of unusual coincidences which has given us false information.'' Einstein later remarked \cite{Einstein:1950:MLYa} about the Hahn and Strassmann discovery ``this was not something I could have predicted.'' In 1945, Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 1944 for the discovery of fission; see \path=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1944/=, and biographies at \path=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hahn= and \path=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Strassmann=. He was unable to attend the Nobel ceremonies, because he was a prisoner at Farm Hall outside Cambridge, England \cite{Bernstein:1996:HUC}.

He took photographs of hundreds of thousands of tracks and was eventually rewarded (figure 6) by seeing the tracks of disintegration protons. The photograph shows a long proton track shooting downwards. An alpha particle has entered a nitrogen nucleus, ejecting a proton and leaving oxygen behind, producing the transmutations N-14 + He-4 to O-17 + H-1. This was the first direct proof that the alpha particle is captured in the transmutation.''", remark-03 = "From pages 627--628: ``They [Ernest Rutherford and Ernest Marsden] were able to show that near heavy nuclei, such as gold, the inverse square law held up to the limits of penetration of the fastest alpha particles available. But with the lighter elements they found very marked deviations. These experiments presented Rutherford with the paradox that the potential barrier round the heavy nuclei must rise well beyond 10 million volts, whereas alpha particles come out of these nuclei at energies between 4 and 8 million volts. The alpha particles do not therefore escape with the full energy of the potential field. The solution to this problem was provided by a visitor to the laboratory; a young and imaginative theoretical physicist from Leningrad, Dr. Gamow saw that the solution was provided by the new wave mechanics which was then being developed by Schr{\"o}dinger and others. On the new ideas it was evident that the alpha particles could leak through the potential barriers of the nuclei, and so need not have the full energy of the field. In this way, nuclear physicists were given a new and most fruitful model to guide their researches.''", remark-04 = "From page 629: ``About the same time I started to build the first high-voltage apparatus for the acceleration of protons. I was led to do this by the predictions of Gamow's theory that protons of a few hundred kilovolts should penetrate the barriers of light nuclei. These predictions were submitted to Rutherford and he encouraged me to go ahead.''", remark-05 = "From page 629: ``Very swiftly, Dee and Feather were set to work with their expansion chambers to look for the tracks of the projected particles. Dee found the tracks of proton and other recoils and Feather discovered the transmutation of nitrogen by neutrons, the first of the transmutations by this new particle.''", remark-06 = "From page 630: ``About the same time in 1933 Rutherford received from G. N. Lewis the first sample of heavy hydrogen to reach Europe. Within a few days the sample was converted into deuterium gas, which Rutherford guarded with the most jealous care. He turned at once with Oliphant to do experiments with deuterons and soon discovered the transmutation of deuterium by deuterons. They found that two reactions occurred, D + D = H-1 + H-3 or He-3 + n, leading to the new elements H-3 and He-3.''", remark-07 = "From page 630: ``During 1932 we had a visit from Millikan, who brought with him some very remarkable cosmic-ray photographs taken by Anderson which gave the first indications of positive electrons. Immediately after that, Blackett and Occhialini turned on their Wilson chamber to the search. Introducing the principle of counter control, they very soon obtained some remarkable photographs, showing pairs of positive and negative electrons, and in some cases showers of particles.''", remark-08 = "From page 630: ``The discovery of artificial radioactivity was missed in the laboratory, largely because we did not in general work with Geiger counters, and were looking for particles either with scintillation screens or with counters which would not respond to beta rays. When Curie-Joliot announced the discovery of the production of artificial radioactivity of alpha particle bombardment, Walton and I were able to borrow a Geiger counter equipment from Bainbridge and to show that protons could produce artificial radioactivity in carbon.''", remark-09 = "From page 632: ``One of the things that Rutherford never forgave was the publication of wrong results. He believed in the notice written in the entrance to McGill Physics Laboratory --- `Prove all things'.''", remark-10 = "From page 633: ``Although Rutherford died in 1937, his influence was a major factor in the scientific supremacy of Britain in the war. The Senior Staff and research students of the laboratory, together with members of other physics schools, were mobilized in the first days of the war and developed for Britain and the allied cause the centimetric radar which turned the tide of the U-boat battle, directed the bombing of Germany and helped decisively to sink the Japanese fleet. The Liverpool branch of the Rutherford School, with Frisch and Peierls from Birmingham, initiated the work on the atomic bomb which ended the war with Japan.''", } @Article{Hoyle:1946:SEH, author = "Fred Hoyle", title = "The synthesis of the elements from hydrogen", journal = j-MONTHLY-NOT-ROY-ASTRON-SOC, volume = "106", number = "5", pages = "343--383", month = "????", year = "1946", CODEN = "MNRAA4", ISSN = "0035-8711 (print), 1365-2966 (electronic)", ISSN-L = "0035-8711", bibdate = "Mon Jun 4 06:31:23 2012", bibsource = "http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/b/bethe-hans.bib; http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/g/gamow-george.bib; http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/einstein.bib", URL = "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1946MNRAS.106..343H", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, fjournal = "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", remark = "See \cite{Bethe:1939:EPSa,Hoyle:1954:NRO}", } @Article{Lattes:1946:ANU, author = "C.

It is concerned with the production, circulation and certification of practice and knowledge in these fields of scientific research.\par By 1914, the study of radioactivity was confined to a few centres --- Paris, Berlin, Manchester and Vienna --- possessing relatively large quantities of radium. The politics and organisation of this relatively closed network were irrevocably altered by the First World War. The election of Ernest Rutherford to the Cavendish Chair of Experimental Physics at Cambridge in 1919 brought radioactivity research, and a programme of Imperial physics, to the Cavendish Laboratory. Rutherford's programme of research, based on his speculative nuclear model of the atom (1911), sought to map the internal topography of the atomic nucleus by means of scintillation counting experiments. Rutherford's work on artificial disintegration, combined with F. W. Aston's elucidation of the isotopes of the light elements by means of the mass-spectrograph, brought about a profound change in physicist's and chemist's views of atomic architecture.\par In the early 1920s, as laboratories in Europe recovered from the war, the work of the Cavendish Laboratory was unchallenged. During the 1920s, as other laboratories entered the field of nuclear research, however, a series of controversies brought into question the reliability of the scintillation technique and the integrity of all experimental results based upon it. The foundational data yielded by the mass-spectrograph, too, were contested, occasioning a `crisis of certitude' in radioactivity research, and prompting a redistribution of trust into alternative sources of experimental evidence --- electronic (Geiger) counters and cloud chambers. The crediting of these techniques (which proved to be as problematic as those they ostensibly replaced) opened up new kinds of problems to experimental investigation.\par In virtue of the new kinds of skills now required in the laboratory, a re-definition of the investigative community accompanied technical innovation. In the wake of a prolonged controversy between Cambridge and Vienna, a conference was convened at the Cavendish Laboratory in 1928, as a direct result of which researchers in several other European laboratories (including Maurice de Broglie and the Joliot-Curies in Paris, Bothe in Berlin and Pose at Halle) entered the field of nuclear research, multiplying the number of sites at which the new techniques were deployed. Theoretical physicists like George Gamow, too, began to apply the novel methods of wave mechanics to nuclear problems, gradually transforming the bounds of the possible and the plausible in nuclear research.", } @TechReport{Mather:1993:C, author = "John C.

The second part, on the cosmological tests that measure the geometry of spacetime, discusses general relativity theory as the basis for the tests, and then surveys the broad variety of ways the tests can be applied with the new generations of telescopes and detectors. The third part deals with the origin of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe, and reviews ideas about how the evolution of the universe might be traced back to very early epochs when structure originated.

Gamow found the present temperature of the background radiation on the basis of general formulas of cosmological dynamics. This prediction was in no way related to primordial nucleosynthesis. This circumstance has and is still causing misunderstanding in those cases in which the authors have raised doubts about Gamow's results, although an actual error has never been demonstrated. A detailed analysis makes it possible to understand how Gamow's calculation is possible. The problem lies in the fact that Gamow makes a certain additional implicit assumption which allows him to dispense with information on nucleosynthesis.

In any case, Bohr's omission was immediately propagated in the literature. Bethe, in the second part of his famous \booktitle{Reviews of Modern Physics} article of April 1937 [co-written with R. F. Bacher], based his discussion of the liquid-drop model on Bohr and Kalckar's paper in its prepublication form, and as a result he ironically and unwittingly cited Bohr and Kalckar themselves as the originators of that model.''", remark-12 = "From page 118: ``Von Weizs{\"a}cker gave full credit to Gamow in his book \booktitle{Die Atomkerne} (Weizsacker 1937, pp. 40--44), and Gamow himself discussed his liquid-drop model again in the second edition of his book on atomic nuclei (Gamow 1937, pp. 4--8), but \booktitle{Bethe's Bible} was far more influential than either von Weizs{\"a}cker's or Gamow's book, and physicists generally followed Bohr's and Bethe's leads in dropping Gamow's name from the literature --- an omission that was not corrected in Bohr and Wheeler's paper of 1939. Subsequently, perhaps because of Bohr's particularly fruitful application of the liquid-drop model to the understanding of nuclear reactions, but no doubt also owing to Bohr's imposing stature in the profession, physicists came to associate the origin of that model with Bohr's name, not Gamow's.''", } @InProceedings{Anonymous:1995:GGA, author = "Anonymous", editor = "A.

It describes the work of the founding fathers of nuclear physics, from Gamow and Dirac, to Van de Graaff and Siegbahn (amongst others).

Topics include nuclear spectroscopy, in particular beta-ray spectrometers and internal conversion. The author starts from the discovery of the neutron in 1932, to nuclear fission, and closes with sub-atomic processes.

He works on everybody's problem. He never gets into controversies or has trouble with anyone. He is by far your best choice.'

Bohr also arranged for Gamow to visit the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, for around five weeks, from early January to mid-February 1929. Gamow thrived in both places.

But the cosmological constant rears its ugly head again and again and again. Apparently, Einstein himself has never used the apercu ``biggest blunder''; nevertheless a vast literature grew up around this notion and associated it with Einstein. The present work is prompted by questions put by Mario Livio in his latest book ``Brilliant Blunders'' as to the phrase ``biggest blunder'': Did Einstein actually say, ``biggest blunder''? I show that in 1947 Einstein wrote Lema{\^\i}tre that he found it ``very ugly'' that the field law of gravitation should be composed of two logically independent terms. Earlier, in 1922 Einstein wrote Max Born that he committed ``a monumental blunder some time ago''. In 1965 Born commented: ``Here Einstein admits that the considerations which led him to the positive-ray experiments were wrong: 'a monumental [capital] blunder'''. It is likely that when Einstein met Gamow he formulated his views in his native German, and perhaps he told Gamow that suggesting his cosmological constant was a ``blunder''. I suggest that, Einstein perhaps told Gamow that the cosmological constant was a ``capital blunder'' or a ``monumental blunder'', and Gamow could have embellished Einstein's words to become the famous apercu ``biggest blunder''.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, } @Article{Frebel:2014:RCE, author = "Anna Frebel", title = "Reconstructing the Cosmic Evolution of the Chemical Elements", journal = j-DAEDALUS, volume = "143", number = "4", pages = "71--80", month = "Fall", year = "2014", CODEN = "DAEDAU", DOI = "https://doi.org/10.1162/DAED_a_00307", ISSN = "0011-5266 (print), 1548-6192 (electronic)", ISSN-L = "0011-5266", bibdate = "Fri Mar 20 10:06:32 MDT 2015", bibsource = "http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/g/gamow-george.bib; http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/daedalus.bib", URL = "http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1162/DAED_a_00307", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, fjournal = "Daedalus", journal-URL = "http://www.jstor.org/journals/00115266.html; http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/daed", } @Article{Kragh:2014:NBB, author = "Helge Kragh", title = "Naming the {Big Bang}", journal = j-HIST-STUD-NAT-SCI, volume = "44", number = "1", pages = "3--36", month = feb, year = "2014", CODEN = "????", ISSN = "1939-1811 (print), 1939-182X (electronic)", ISSN-L = "1939-182X", bibdate = "Tue Jan 28 09:54:08 MST 2014", bibsource = "http://www.jstor.org/journals/19391811.html; http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/hsns.2014.44.issue-1; http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/g/gamow-george.bib; http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/hsns.bib", URL = "http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/hsns.2014.44.1.3", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, fjournal = "Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences", journal-URL = "http://www.jstor.org/journals/19391811.html", remark = "This article traces the origins and use of the term `Big Bang', first coined by Fred Hoyle in a 1949 radio broadcast.

It thus marks the beginning of a new venture. Rather than attempting to express an ideology of the infinity of science, this collection in fact aims at presenting a kaleidoscopic picture of the variety of views about science and within science. Three main disciplines come together in this volume. The first of scientists, the second of historians and sociologists of science, the third of philosophers interested in science. The scientists try to present the scientific body of knowledge in areas where the scientific adventure kindles the imagination of the culture of our time. At the same of course, they register their own reflections on the nature of this body time, of knowledge and on its likely course of future development. For the historians and sociologists, in contrast, science is there to be studied diachronically, as a process, on the one hand, and synchronically, as a social institution, on the other. As for the philosophers, finally, their contribution to this series is not meant to remain within the confines of what is usually seen as the philosophy of science proper, or to be limited to the analysis of the scientific mode of reasoning and thinking: it is allowed, indeed encouraged, to encompass alter native, and on occasion even competing, modes of thought.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, series-URL = "https://link.springer.com/bookseries/5710", subject = "Philosophy (General); Science; Philosophy; History; History.; Philosophy.", tableofcontents = "On the Empirical Application of Mathematics and Some of its Philosophical Aspects / Stephan K{\"o}rner / 1 \\ On the Empirical Application of Mathematics: A Comment / Haim Gaifman / 13 \\ Meaning and Our Mental Life / Hilary Putnam / 17 \\ Meaning and Our Mental Life: A Comment / Eddy M.

At the time that this preface is being written, the fourth annual series of lectures within the framework of the Israel Colloquium is already behind us and the fifth is underway. The Israel Colloquium thus has now not only a future to look forward to but also a past which is a source of pride and pleasure for those who take part in this venture. The Israel Colloquium has, I believe, struck roots in the Israeli scientific and intellectual life, while drawing on the ever-increasing readiness of the international scientific and intellectual community for continuous support. As in the first volume, here too the papers presented, taken together, attempt a threefold representation of science and of the scientific activity: the historical, the social, and the systematic. A novel focal point in this volume is the treatment of some case studies illuminating historical, social, and philosophical aspects of medicine. Another center of gravity here is the Eddington Centennial Symposium which was a main event in the Colloquium activity of the 1982--83 series. This is a fitting place for me to report with sorrow the untimely death in the summer of 1984 of Solly G.

Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would finally lend empirical support to many long-held beliefs about the origins and development of the entire universe: the theory of the big bang. In this book, Helge Kragh presents the development of scientific cosmology for the first time as a historical event, one that embroiled many famous scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an evolving universe with a beginning in time. In rich detail he examines how the big-bang theory drew inspiration from and eventually triumphed over rival views, mainly the steady-state theory and its concept of a stationary universe of infinite age. In the 1920s, Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaitre showed that Einstein's general relativity equations possessed solutions for a universe expanding in time. Kragh follows the story from here, showing how the big-bang theory evolved, from Edwin Hubble's observation that most galaxies are receding from us, to the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Sir Fred Hoyle proposed instead the steady-state theory, a model of dynamic equilibrium involving the continuous creation of matter throughout the universe. Although today it is generally accepted that the universe started some ten billion years ago in a big bang, many readers may not fully realize that this standard view owed much of its formation to the steady-state theory. By exploring the similarities and tensions between the theories, Kragh provides the reader with indispensable background for understanding much of today's commentary about our universe.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, subject = "Cosmology; History", tableofcontents = "1.

It was not a smooth transition. The nature of nuclei, their properties, the physical laws which govern their behaviour, and the possibility of controlling to some extent their transformations, were discovered in discontinuous steps, following paths which occasionally led to errors which in turn were corrected by further experimental discoveries. The story begins in 1896 when radioactivity was unexpectedly discovered and continues up to the nineteen-sixties. The authors describe the spectacular progress made by physics during that time, which not only revealed a new form of matter, namely nuclei, but also modified our way of thinking by developing quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. The book is written in a clear and non mathematical language which makes it both accessible and instructive to laymen, physicists and students, as well as to historians of science.
